Pirating & PK''ing

Question: If you attacking another player (say freighter with full load) and after you destroy him will his cargo be left as LOOT that you can use your tractor on?

The reason I ask is: I destroyed a humpback full of gold the other night, but no cargo was left. If this is always true; then the only thing we (us pirates) can do is ask for a fee for not destroying you or maybe part of your cargo. If we ask for credites then we leave ourselves open for attack while the other player is transfering money. The attack could be from the player being robbed (I would understand that) or others. Now if they jettison part of their cargo then we could tractor it over without much danger.

How do you other pirates handle this?

I'm not a pirate myself but one of those freighters! and indeed, when you shoot me or one of my friends, even if we are full with diamonds or whatever, we will never drop a single piece !!

STUPID, right ?!?!!

Guess they did not think about this one when programming the game. PATCH ?!?

well we could always go "ok... drop the loot! Drop it, I win, don't drop it and nobody does1"

Yea, I started send a message to them ask them for credits after I had scanned them to see what their cargo is. Need a option to send a message to the player like the AI does to us. "Alright hand it over, or die". But I would not want to ask for all of it. What does it pay for them to hand over all of their cargo. But I think to ask for say 70 (my cargo space) of whatever they have. 50 or 70k in credits.

i always thought it would be a good idea to have a "drop loot" dialogue for multi, that way it can be done and finished.

of course i could publish a "wish list" on many freelancer things. but that's jsut me.

maybe we shoudl start a multi player wishlist to DA for the patch or a future patch?
